Viewing your Time Splits:
  • You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay' (See pic below)
  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Gallery' option.
  • Live timing monitor does not work properly, so we have to use a small trick to view splits.
  • While viewing your Replay, pause the lap by hitting start, before the end of the first sector.
  • While keeping the replay paused, advance the replay, using the forward arrow on the replay HUD. This will advance the replay to the end of the first sector. That's your T1 split, write it down.
  • Advance the replay again. That will show the lap to date time on the screen, this is your first and second sector time, added together.
  • To post your Splits, simply post the lap to date times that are shown in the middle of the screen. Do not try to calculate the actual split times, the Fetchbot will do that for you.

Standard Clean OLR Rules:

  • At Least 2 Tires must be in contact with track at all times.

    • In situations where contact with the track is not possible because tires are airborne (above the ground), then the run is only legal if at least two tires in-line would have made contact with the track if the car were not airborne.
    • If track contact cannot be 100% determined, then consider it dirty.
  • Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track.
  • No contact with walls or objects, visible or invisible
  • If you're not 100% sure that your lap is clean, then consider it dirty
  • No hybrids
  • No cheating of any kind,these are relaxed races and we are experienced racers, we know what times can be done,and we can read your mind. We will know.
  • Nothing that goes against the spirit of the rules.


Thread rules:
The following information cannot be discussed in this thread (they can, however, be discussed on MSN or via other private conversation methods):
  • Total Lap Time
  • Any information which can be used to infer your total laptime
The following information can be discussed in this thread :
  • The first 3 splits: T1, T2, and T3 times
  • Any settings discussion

Submission:
All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 76 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):
  • Then attach your 'Best Lap'/'Ghost' replay in zip file form. Everyone submits a replay instead of listing a lap time.
  • You will need to put something in the message body in order to begin a conversation. It doesn't matter what you put, it can even be 1 letter or symbol. Nobody but the Fetchbot is going to see it, so it's sort of pointless, anyhow.
  • You will get an automated response within 15min, letting you know whether your submission was accepted, or if you had an error.
  • If you have an error, don't panic. Just review the instructions for submission and submit again. If you are having trouble and cannot figure it out, please post your question in the race thread.
  • Users can ask the bot for the current submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Remove Entry" and any text in the body.
  • If you want to submit multiple times in the week that is still not a problem. Just reply to the conversation with your new time and new replay. Fetchy always uses the last submitted time as the final one.
  • See this screenshot as an example on how to submit:

Why Use GMT?:

GMT is World Time and the basis of every world time zone which sets the time of day and is at the centre of the time zone map. GMT sets current time or official time around the globe. Most time changes are measured by GMT. Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.
Replay Checking:
  • Everyone is required to submit a replay for verification. This happens when you submit to the Fetchbot, and the replays will be visible in the leaderboard, once we've reached the event deadline
  • Participants will be expected to check each others' replays for cleanliness, for replays marked in the Results thread as (Check Needed)
  • Video replays are not accepted as a form of verification

Good luck, :gtplanet:

So we're not farming on Lord March's driveway this week?

And I'm glad it's not a Fiat - those gold times are impossible to get.
 
I loaded the replay from the gallery and it gives a T1 of 1350 ms. :P
I guess we just have to rely on our memory for that, or pause the game and make a note. I didn't even look at my T2 or T3.

What's the distinct sound you hear when this car idles? I only know much newer Mercedes-Benz, though not exactly recent, produce a similar one.

It would seem T1 works inside arcade mode, though it is rounded down.
Well, ninja protection only works if you use it.

I hadn't looked at the replays yet in the Gallery, so apologies for missing that T1 can't be seen there. Estimates or remembering it from within Arcade mode will have to do.

I thought it was pretty cool though, having T1 that close to the start has basically turned that split into a drag race. ;)
 
I like the shadow on the barrier at 6 o'clock.

- Very nearly full throttle.

The t1 is interesting. Having to keep it straight while lighting up the tires and shifting before it bounces off the limiter. I've gotten my best starts by holding right under 6k and full throttle a fraction of a second before it starts. Usually get off the line when it hits 6,200 and shift when it starts to move close to 7k.

Haven't experimented with bb to much. 5/5 is working well for the controller.
 
After work i need to gold up that Nurb beast run(have the idea how, but had less luck in some quite tricky turns - had 11s advantage to my table time halfway through the hell, but hitted the low drag mode in slight turn and went off. Btw, just wow these Tomahawks :D ) and then to try this Gullwing.
 
Good to see you poke your head from behind the scenes 👍 Great launch you have there also.
Thanks. 👍

Launch is just mashing it to the floor, countersteering, and picking the right shift point. :)

Been busy with RL, had a 24 hour race 2 weekends ago, last weekend was my anniversary in San Diego, and then have a race next weekend at Laguna Seca.

I got new splits and the T1 seems to have a bug in it, it has a 1.xxx split. So I will post with my prior T1 and new T2/T3.

Bloody hell you guys are fast :boggled: And only seven days to improve my times-it may not be enough :lol:
If its not against the events rules,does anyone have any tips they'd care to share for taking the little downhill right/left hander by the pheasantry grandstand/activities field(I think thats what its called) ?
I'm really struggling to maintain any consistent speed through this section without going off and ending up in the haybales.
Cheers...
 
I had that problem if I didn't get on throttle quite soon - while turning left - and that's only possible if it's planned, like by slowing down enough. Maybe that will be slow, but a pass is a pass...
 
deleted ... never had track edge real :embarrassed::embarrassed::embarrassed:

Sorry for mess up 👎

Going back to resolve :dopey::dopey::dopey:

I promise, really, that my next post will have some splits in it. But I just couldn't resist.

For those too young to know anything about those two, that's Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio sitting on the 300Sl in 1955'.
 
Cheers for the tips 👍
@roamer2629 not quite hitting those speeds yet,but getting closer.
As for the right then left hander,I think my mistake was trying to take in one go,kinda like a chicane instead of two separate corners,i'm now braking for the right hander,turn in,back on the throttle,a dab of brake and swing it left and floor it into the short straight.Anyways my initial splits...

Those are Brandon's speeds, and he surely is faster than me!
